Increasing Number and tho Value OF

The rapid increase has taken place Of
late years in the lumber Of cattle in the
country. and IN the greater increased
value of these in the aggregate, owing tc
tie added quality through crossing up
with the better breeds IL is not gtn er-
ally understood that an increase in the
number and value Of horses has been &C
cruing, quite equal in degree TO that OF
cattle La 1910 there were, in all the
states, about 5000, 600 horses. and we re-
membered quite clearly that very good
horses, matured for work and for ordinary
driving, could be bought for $75 to $50
500 being considered fair price for al
extra good one. What was true of the
prices then, held true for good many
years. During the len years from 1910 to

THE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

The Daily Report has the fol-
lowing pertinent editorial on cam
paign newspapers:
The campaign newspaper Will
soon begin to make its appearance,
and all owners of moribund sheets
are on the alert to sell their losing
concerns to politicians, against the
beginning of next years struggle.
In no direction is so much money
wasted by politicians and their
friends as in establishing campaign
sheets or in buying old but decay
ing newspapers in the hope of in
fluencing public opinion through
their columns. A newspaper es-
tablished for any other purpose
than giving the news and advanc-
ing the general interests of the
CITY and community in which it is
published is certain to be a failure.
if its projectors look to the public
for its support. The newspaper
that is published to further private
ambitions or the schemes OF q GER
tain clique of politicians is sure to
be left upon the hands of its owners,
and fail to exercise any popular in
fiuence, as soon as the reading pub
lie divines the object of it's exist
ence. 1t may also be granted that
a newspaper that has not been able
to make living for itself and its
owners, and has so lost ground
with the public as to be for sale
to anybody who has campaign
funds to squander in that way, will
never reimburse it's new owners,
either in coin or in votes
The interests OF persons that are
such in their nature and character
as to be cut of from the support
and countenance of the well-estab-
hshed and substantially recognized
public press OF a city, can never
save themselves by enlistlng in
their service ba2ds of journalistic
tramps and bankrupts.

CITIZEN DUTIES.

Frank Pixley of the Argonaut is
a most robust and incisive writer.
His paper has an article ON the jury
bribing business which is just now
the excitement in San Francisco.
He does not palliate the crimes OF
the scamps at all, but he drives a
fact home to the "virtuous" citizens
of that city which is most approp-
rate, as follows:
And vet it is not SO much the
fault of the gang OF Inscriptions
and mercenary scoundrels who at
present seems to hold in their paw
the emblems of life and liberty, as
it is of the sleek and well-fed-citizen,
who is too selfish to concern him.
self with any affairs that do not
actually hinge upon his pocket, and
calmly rests upon the sublime as
surance that no great harm can be
done while the household goose
hangs high. To him the stuffing OF
the ballot-box is like dream. The
news comes to him at his cosy
breakfast table, and you can not
make him believe that before he
gets up from the table he may be
yanked out of his seat by a couple
of Sheriff's deputies, on vamped
up charge If his purse is long, and
the bosses think they have got hold
of something they can work.
Voters must attend to their
duties as citizens, and in place Of
toasting their toes at home on a
cold night, or taking it easy on the
yerandah on hot one, they must
come down town, and see it them.
selves that the primaries are not
run by the hired blackguards who
run them now. This is q true bust
ness. This is why our juries arc
corrupted, and life, liberty ane
property are in danger in San Fran
cisco.
